|discussion=<p>Although extensively intergrading along the Arctic coast, <i>Carex aquatilis </i>var.<i> minor</i> and <i></i>var.<i> aquatilis</i> appear to be distinct; <i>C. aquatilis </i>var.<i> minor</i> has been reported to maintain its distinctive characteristics in cultivation (J. Cayouette and P. Morisset 1986b). It is reported to hybridize with <i>C. bigelowii</i> (= C. ×nearctica M. Raymond).</p>
